I know they're talking about. Once warm things smooth out or if you drive aggressively right off the start - its ok at higher revs. Personally, this car has one of the crappier manuals in a sports car that I have come across in a long long time. I am planning to change the entire clutch of my 07 with 18K miles, should be a big improvement in feel and function.

i agree . . im sorry to report that the Z's tranny is not its strong point . . my last manual focus svt had a gem of a transmission (made by getrag) . . it sliced through shifts like butter . . . .

I have the same issue:

- 07' 350 Z HR with roughly 50000 km. The issue began at 15000 km.
- A few little jerks when starting with cold engine in the range of 1500-2000 rpm or...
- A hard jerk (same conditions, same range), then OK.

Using Mobil1 5-50.

I'm reading the link above for a solution...

whoa whoa 5-50

apparently the issue is the oil.

try using a different weight, preferably 5w30 and see if it changes?

mine only started doing this right when i switched to mobil 0-40. going to switch to castrol edge 5w30
